$$-\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\nabla^2\psi+V\psi=E\psi$$
- Time Independent
- $\psi$ is the wave function
Quantum counterpart of Newton's second law in classical mechanics
$$F=ma$$
[From](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger_equation)
Given a set of known initial conditions, Newton's second law makes a mathematical prediction as to what path a given physical system will take over time. The Schrödinger equation gives the evolution over time of a [wave function](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_function), the quantum-mechanical characterization of an isolated physical system.
